Open Source Playground -- Where Sugar and the XOs will be on display

6/28 9am update - I met Randy Orwin at the EduBloggerCon Afterparty last night and chatted for a few minutes. We are definitely at the Open Source Playground (as opposed to exhibit, pavillion or lounge). We still don't have a room number for the playground, though Randy says the playground is at the end of a hallway *in* the hallway. Gear such as the laptops will have to be moved out of a room every morning and stored back each day.

Update: The Open Source Playground is in it's own room, 152b, in the lower concourse near Hall D. The Sugar Labs table with 4 XOs and some netbooks is in the hallway. Securing the XOs to the display table with steel cable proved a useful approach as we are able to leave the XOs out there with literature.

The NECC 2009 exhibit hall will be open June 29–July 1, 2009, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Exhibit hours have been scheduled to provide maximum interaction between conference attendees and exhibitor personnel:

Kevin may be able to burn some LiveCDs.

6/27 - Full flyer uploaded to FedEx Office to be printed at Silver Spring location. Pick up after 3AM Sun 6/28.
6/28 - 250 B&W flyers picked up. They are a tad light on toner, but usable. No time to chase after reprinting. Will run a handful of color flyers off to have on hand for any VIPs that show up.

6/25 - Jeff said he will go get the laptops.
6/28 - Jeff delivered the laptops

NOT DONE!

6/25 - The asset tags have finally arrived for the OLPC Learning Club XO Lending Library laptops (of which 15 are going to NECC). So the conference setup will be a good time to affix them and enter the barcode numbers into the Google Spreadsheet. They look like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/curiouslee/3664422126/ - Mike

Caroline Meeks suggests a wifi access point to serve as a bridge between the XOs. Mike will bring a small AP.

Collapsible booth backdrop on loan from Jonathan Blocksom. His booth is covered in all black fabric. He says he can drop it off Sunday at the Convention Center. ( What the booth structure looks like http://www.skyline.com/mirage-pop-up-promo )
